  • Kaleb Johnson RB | PIT

    Steelers' Kaleb Johnson: Disappointing workload as rookie

    Johnson recorded 28 carries for 69 yards while securing one of two targets for nine yards over 10 appearances during the 2025 regular season.

    Although Johnson was a third-round pick by the Steelers in the 2025 NFL Draft, playing time was hard to come by during his rookie year, as he played double-digit offensive snaps in just one game. He was also a healthy scratch for the final three weeks of the regular season. Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell served as the Steelers' clear top running backs throughout the year. Johnson could have a chance to compete for more work in 2026 if Gainwell -- who is slated to become an unrestricted free agent during the offseason -- heads elsewhere. Even if Gainwell plays for another team next year, Johnson could face an uphill battle for playing time as long as Warren remains in Pittsburgh.

  • Trent Brown OT | HOU

    Texans' Trent Brown: Limited Friday

    Brown (ankle/knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.

    Brown has now logged consecutive limited sessions, leaving him one more opportunity to upgrade his practice participation in the hopes of dodging an injury designation ahead of Monday night's wild-card clash with the Steelers. The right tackle was inactive for the Week 18 win over the Colts, and if he cannot at least maintain limited participation in Saturday's session, he will likely not play in Monday's elimination game.

  • 49ers' Renardo Green: Pops up on report with foot injury

    Green (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card road game against the Eagles, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Green was added to the injury report Friday as a limited participant after practicing without limitations Wednesday and Thursday. If Green is unable to take part in Sunday's playoff matchup, Darrell Luter would likely draw the start at outside cornerback opposite Deommodore Lenoir.

  • Jarrian Jones CB | JAC

    Jaguars' Jarrian Jones: Set for Sunday

    Jones (illness) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup with the Bills.

    Jones missed Wednesday's practice session due to illness but was able to rally back to full participation Friday, just in time to dodge any injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest. The cornerback is all set to start opposite Greg Newsome as the Jaguars attempt to shut down Josh Allen's offense in the team's first home playoff game since the 2022 season.

  • Luke Gifford LB | SF

    49ers' Luke Gifford: Questionable for wild-card round

    Gifford (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card game against the Eagles, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Gifford and Dee Winters (ankle) both got hurt in Week 18 against the Seahawks, leaving each of San Francisco's starting outside linebackers questionable for Sunday's playoff matchup. Eric Kendricks, Curtis Robinson and Garret Wallow are the only remaining healthy options in the 49ers' injury-riddled linebacking corps.

  • Dee Winters LB | SF

    49ers' Dee Winters: Questionable to face Philly

    Winters (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card road game against the Eagles, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Winters and Luke Gifford (quadriceps) are both questionable, leaving the status of San Francisco's linebacker corps in flux. Both starting outside linebackers were injured in Week 18 against the Seahawks, and Winters was subsequently unable to practice in any capacity throughout the week. Curtis Robinson and Garret Wallow would be the next men up at the position flanking Eric Kendricks.

  • Chris Myarick TE | MIA

    Chris Myarick: Cut loose by Miami

    The Dolphins cut Myarick from the practice squad Friday.

    Myarick failed to make the Dolphins' 53-man roster in August but has been a practice squad staple since Oct. 22. The tight end was not elevated for any games this season. The 30-year-old is available to sign with any practice squad or team that may need an additional tight end throughout the playoffs.

  • Jacob Cowing WR | SF

    49ers' Jacob Cowing: Questionable but still on IR

    Cowing (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card game against the Eagles, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports, but the wide receiver remains on injured reserve.

    Cowing would need to be activated from IR prior to Sunday's game to have a chance to suit up. The 2024 fourth-round pick missed the entire 2025 regular season due to a hamstring injury, so he's unlikely to have a substantial role even if he plays.

  • Mason Rudolph QB | PIT

    Steelers' Mason Rudolph: Sees limited action in 2025

    Rudolph completed 38 of 52 passes for 310 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions while rushing seven times for six yards over five appearances during the 2025 regular season.

    The bulk of Rudolph's playing time during the regular season came in the middle of the year, as he entered the team's Week 11 matchup against Cincinnati in relief after Aaron Rodgers got hurt before starting against the Bears in Week 12. Rudolph will remain under contract with the Steelers for the 2026 campaign, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the team bring in other options at quarterback if Aaron Rodgers retires during the offseason.

  • 49ers' Trent Williams: Questionable to face Eagles

    Williams (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card road game against the Eagles, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Williams mustered limited practices Thursday and Friday after sitting out Wednesday. If the star left tackle returns following his Week 18 absence against Seattle, that would be a big boost to San Francisco's chances against a tough Eagles defense.
